I lie awake at night
Staring at the sky
Through my open window
And I think to myself
“Why it is that
the sight of stars
Always make me dream”?
Dreams of you
They fill my mind
And consume me completely
Much like the infinite sparkles
Illuminating the night time sky
With their lustrous glow
When the dreams of you begin to fade
And I’m beckoned back to reality
I count the stars
Hoping that they will ease me back
Into my transcendental reverie
1.. 2.. 3..
The longer I lie here
The more I think
That each star is the life of a soul
And the clusters must be reserved
For the souls that have lived many
I contemplate a little deeper
And I wonder if
It is love that is a souls reason for living
If that’s the case
Then I am sure that our story
Is one that is written in the stars
It is a hundred lifetimes of our love
That have made up the constellations
Like the love found in Lyra
Where Orpheus composes his music
And plays a hallowed tune
One that tells the tale
Of the star crossed lovers
Vega and her mortal paramour, Altair
Like The duo
The universe plagues us with obstacles
Trying to keep us away from one another
But our love is stronger and more resilient
Not even the Celestial River that is the Milky Way can keep us apart
We know that our fate is set stars
We don’t wait for sky gods to build us magpie bridges
We pray upon the lights of the sky to fulfill our wishes
We are relieved when they do
A huge weight is lifted knowing that
Every step taken
Is another step closer to you
As the stars fall bringing life anew
I know that my next life
Will bring me back to you
Because a hundred lifetimes spent with you wouldn’t be enough
My heart is yours for an eternity
When this body is old and gray
I’ll move from this life to the next
And I promise you by the light of the stars
I will mark our love in the sky
To forever remind the universe
Of my everlasting love
For you
